A gardener’s favorite, these fragrant flowers resemble upside-down clusters of grapes, or as someone once described them, “like baggy bloomers caught around the leg.” Grape hyacinths thrive and increase rapidly in all but dampest and shadiest locations. Use Muscari to separate tulip plantings, to outline a walkway or to highlight other spring flowering bulbs. Easily forced for indoor enjoyment, too. Use: border, natural, cut, rckgdn, forcing.
